Musical Instruments & Teachers near Redwood City

“We wanted instructor that could teach my sons (5 and 8 at the time) to become the best pianists and musicians they can be, without hurting their love of music. My older son had outgrown his last (wonderful) school, and we needed someone who was skilled enough to instruct him for years down the road. And of course, because my boys are still children, we needed someone patient and kind.

Teacher Marie is that piano teacher.

She as the technical chops: studied at the Tchaikovsky College of Music, MA at CSU Long Beach, followed by 15 years of teaching. Just as importantly though, she's kind, engaging and patient while still correcting and teaching my kids with gentle firmness -- she really seems to know and appreciate them as inidividuals.

My wife is the musician in the family, and she also tells me that the curriculum they're working from is an excellent one, and far better than the one my wife started with.

Her studio is a bright airy space surrounded by a garden in a quiet neighborhood. She holds recitals for her students (which we like) and supports her students in achieving music exam certifications (which Marie allows parents to opt out).

It's been over a year now, and the boys have grown so much in that time with Marie.“

“Our daughter loves Mrs. Jenny's way of teaching! She encourages our daughter to love music at her own pace.“

“We feel very fortunate that our children studied piano with Isabelle. Over the past six years, she guided my son with patience and skill — helping him build a strong foundation, develop excellent sight-reading, and grow a genuine love for Classical music. Thanks to her teaching, he discovered the joy of composers like Mozart and Beethoven and even earned several major awards along the way. Isabelle also made piano fun and engaging for my daughter right from the start. We’re truly grateful for her dedication and highly recommend her to any family looking for a teacher who can nurture both skill and passion.“

“I highly recommend this institution! Both my daughter’s art and piano teachers are very gentle and patient, making each lesson enjoyable and encouraging.“

“An excellent school to study both ballet and piano. My daughter and I are delighted to be able to have our hobbies at the same place at the same time! Ballet teacher Ludmilla is extremely technical and cares a lot about the psychological and physical well being of her ballerinas. I progressed with leaps and bounds with the patient and firm teaching of piano teacher Yelena, though I took piano as an adult.“
